A maternal effect in homozygous mei-9a mei-41D5 repair deficient Drosophila melanogaster females influencing the recovery rate of progeny bearing a Y chromosome.
Evidence is presented supporting the suggestion that homozygosity for the repair-deficient mutants mei-9a mei-41D5 is associated with a maternal effect which affects detrimentally the recovery rate of Y chromosome-bearing offspring.
